Case Study: University of Worcester improves web accessibility and content quality with Silktide

University of Worcester boosts accessibility score from 63 to 88 with Silktide

The University of Worcester, a UK-based university, faced significant challenges in meeting web accessibility legislation. Their team lacked an in-house developer and struggled to manually identify and fix accessibility issues across their rapidly growing website and mobile site. They needed a comprehensive accessibility checker, specifically Silktide, to efficiently find problems and share them with their external development partners.

By implementing Silktide, the university gained a powerful tool for automated and human-assisted accessibility testing. The platform provided clear explanations of issues, which helped educate both their internal team and external developers. As a result, the University of Worcester's accessibility score dramatically increased from 63 to 88, making them the top-performing UK university in the Silktide Index. Their content score also rose from 47 to 83, saving the team significant time and ensuring compliance with standards.
